Which action is NOT part of managing a patient experiencing dizziness and syncope?

Applying cold packs to the patient's head is not a standard action in managing a patient experiencing dizziness and syncope. When someone is feeling faint or has lost consciousness, the primary focus is on ensuring adequate blood flow to the brain and providing supportive measures. Key actions include laying the patient flat to improve blood circulation to the brain, loosening any tight clothing that may restrict blood flow or breathing, and in some cases, administering oxygen if the patient is hypoxic or struggling to breathe.

Cold packs might be used in other contexts, such as to reduce swelling or alleviate pain, but they do not have a direct role in addressing the underlying causes of dizziness and syncope. Instead, the management should prioritize stabilizing the patient's condition and ensuring a safe recovery position.
